It’s not too difficult to start your own business in South Africa cheaply. And it doesn’t have to be a scary thing to start your own business, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. You can start your own business in South Africa cheaply and easily.

Perhaps you can’t find a job in South Africa or you need to earn extra income. Perhaps you think that starting your own business means you first have to have a lot of money. Not so! One can start one’s own business in South Africa cheaply.

Not all businesses need a shop or office that customers or clients need to visit. Your “shop” or “office” can be in the form of a website or blog – your own site!

There are types of businesses you could start that don’t need a shop or an office. You can work from the comfort of your own home, with your computer and the Internet. People will visit your blog (or site), not your shop or office. People can contact you using a contact form on your blog (or site), or can email you. They don’t need to see you in person or even need to phone you. You could do your work in your pajamas if you wanted to, and nobody would know.

Sell products
Sell products like digital products: photos, images, website templates, and logos, or products that you collect or source for free or cheaply, or that you make yourself. You would take photos of the physical products and put them on your own site, selling them from there or taking orders. You could also sell other people’s things, taking a commission when you sell something.

Blogging
Write unique content for your blog, regularly, and when the blog is getting enough traffic, start monetizing the blog with ads (ad programs that you’ve joined, affiliate site products, or rent advertising space to businesses related to what you’re writing about on your blog). You can also advertise your own business on that blog – the things you sell or the services you offer. If you have a little patience and are willing to put in the time and effort, it is not that difficult to learn how to make money from blogging.

You can get your own blog quite cheaply

Get a domain registered.
Get hosting.
Install WordPress and a free WordPress theme.
Learn to manage your WordPress blog
(you don’t need to know html or how to design a website).
Write and add lots of unique content to your blog.
Market your blog – this can be done cheaply too, or even for free if you have the time to spend on it.

If you want your own blog, it’s not such a big job getting one, or such a big expense.

Really – try not to panic if you can’t find a job, and if you don’t have a lot of money. Starting your own business is an option and doesn’t need to be expensive. If you’re not that good at doing certain Internet or computer things, then spend some time working at improving those skills, and there you go, you can start your own business. How to work at improving your skills? Read! Learn! There is so much free and very useful information on the Internet – if you are determined to start your own business but need to first improve your skills or learn how to do something, you can do that learning on the Internet for free – you can learn how to do just about anything on the Internet.

While you’re at it, the learning, learn how to market your blog too. You need to get lots of people to visit your blog in order to make a decent income from the products you’re selling, or from the services you are offering, or from the ads you have on your blog. Marketing your blog a lot, and well, should be a very important part of your own business.
